All Due Respect
It’s 2019, for better or worse
I hear the talk, read all the news
Watch parades, learn the proper terms
People are more ‘woke’ than ever
Society demands lack of judgement
Everything is acceptable, it’s all good
I watch from afar at the hypocrisy
If a boy proclaims he’s gay
Suddenly he wants all the boys.
Post-game showers get strange
If a girl announces she’s a lesbian
She immediately wants all the girls
It becomes a challenge to ‘turn her’
If a person is bisexual, out and proud
They are promiscuous and can’t decide
Or that love-type simply doesn’t exist
If a person identifies as transgender
They are in defiance of God’s will for them
That souls go where they are supposed to
If a person is asexual
Society says they are broken
They just need to find the right one.
Why are heterosexuals given a free pass?
Straight men ogle any female in his line of sight
Just showing off his privilege, rampant sexuality
Or for the modern woman bringing home
A new male for every night of the week
Call her promiscuous and face a lawsuit
Love is love, it’s free for all, it can’t be confined
Why does something so pure need to be rationed
How is it that in 2019, we so socially aware
Dare to persecute, torture, take life away
Simply because of who/what the heart longs for
No one alive can be judge, jury, executioner
Dictating who others need to identify as, to love.
